Czech it out! You’re likely to hear that play on words a good deal in the coming months as preparations heat up for Opera Colorado’s [3]citywide celebration of Czech culture — Czech Point Denver.

The event, which will feature the involvement of several dozen area cultural organizations, is tied to the company’s first-ever presentation of a Czech opera: Antonìn Dvořák’s [4]“Rusalka.” Performances are set for Feb. 12, 15, 18 and 20 in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House[5].

Related activities will include Buntport Theatre’s [6]remounting of the dark comedy, “Kafka on Ice” and the Colorado Symphony’s [7] exploration of Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World,” during a Jan. 21 Inside the Score program and a Jan. 23 family concert, titled, “Dvořák Comes to America.”
